Judicial Reforms of Sher Shah
 Sher Shah

 Sher Shah used to say, “Justice is the most excellent of religious rites and it is approved both by the kings of the infidels and the faithful.” He further added, “Justice does not consist in abstaining from oppression but in fair and honest dealing with men.” Sher Shah practiced evenhanded justice to all without any distinction of caste and creed. He did not spare his own relatives and nobles if they had committed any crime.

The Emperor himself was the fountain-head of the judiciary and held his court once in a week on every Wednesday. After him the chief Qazi was the head of the department of justice who used to perform his duties with the help of Qazis who were appointed in each district. Civil cases were decided by Chief Munsifs and Munsifs in Sarkars and parganas respectively, while criminal cases were settled by the chief Shiqdar and the Shiqdars in Sarkars and parganas respectively. Severe punishments such as flogging, imprisonment, heavy fines and cutting off the limbs was in practice which terrified the criminals to a great extent.
